It really depends; if you're a novice to programming then "Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja" is maybe not the first book to go with, especially since we won't be going through the very basic syntax of JavaScript (writing loops, conditions, math expressions, etc.).

But if you have any experience with general programming, I think the book can be very useful. We'll go deep into all core JavaScript concepts in a way and we'll do our best that it's approachable even to novice JavaScript programmers.
